    Grayer and Lafester 1988 box score

    Pretty sure I saw an article in an ISU publication that he is out on the east coast practicing...maybe even in the NYC area.

    Grayer and Lafester 1988 box score

    So loud at introductions for ISU's players that they could not hear the announcer over the PA system saying their names.

    When did Hilton Magic Exist?

    Nothing better than seeing Johnny chase the officials off the court! I doubt you will ever see Fred do that. Certainly some good posts here but Hilton Magic is about going to Hilton expecting to win no matter who the opponent is as opposed to going with the hope of winning. And, ultimately...

    Last Win in Stillwater 3/2/1988

    And here I thought JO's teams never won on the road!?!

    When did Hilton Magic Exist?

    It truly existed before it was officially named...that is why someone named it.

    Barfknecht Story on Johnny Orr

    “For all that Johnny did for this program and putting Iowa State basketball on the map, he's the most important figure in Iowa State sports history. He always has been, and always will be.'' Now, that is a powerful quote from Fred Hoiberg!

    Since the Rag is rigged Fizer vs Grayer

    Has ISU ever had another MBB Olympian beside Jeff Grayer?

    Pitt contacted CPR

    What about the Championship in 1976 with Tony Dorsett (a Heisman Trophy winner by the way) under former ISU coach Johnny Majors?

    Fran McCafferey

    Maybe your memory is failing you a bit...LE had only 4 conference titles prior to coming to ISU...1 Big Sky and 3 Big West. He had been a primarily anonymous head coach in a couple of smaller conferences for 8 years with 1 NCAA tournament to his name when we hired him. Alford was a big...

    ***Official Cal post game thread***

    Frankly, I don't have the time or energy today to read any of the lunacy and idiocy that gets posted on this site by some of you but after seeing the 2010-11 Cyclones for the first time today I was very pleased with what I saw. I'm not big on moral victories and a loss is a loss. However, Cal...

    Harrison Barnes is flat overrated

    Expectations. That is the primary problem for Barnes. I happen to believe that in the current world with an abundance of "recruiting experts" and an incredible amount of information overflow that very few are able to live up to the hype they are given...at least right away. Lebron James is...

    Chizik just won Coach of the Year

    Re: Chizek just won Coach of the Year Gene Chizik was a great hire for ISU. He did a great job of recruiting to ISU. Unfortunately, he did not hire his assistants very well at ISU. And it was very disappointing to see a guy get to use ISU as a stepping stone without actually winning here...

    Basketball Uniform History

    I'm an "old school" guy but these even pre-date me. However, I really like these...even better than the ones from my days at ISU in the 80s. I would love to see us replicate this sort of design. On another note, I can't wait for the "short shorts" to come back into style again some day!

    Basketball Uniform History

    Actually, I'm almost certain Gene Smith was the AD when this happened.

    Basketball Uniform History

    Love the pic. I know you are pointing out the alumni band's logo that looks much like the current logo. However, I will point out that I believe this is a guy named Mr. Eddy from Omaha, NE getting the award for being "Cy's Favorite Alum". I know the guy between Mr. Eddy and Cy...working a...

    Basketball Uniform History

    These red and blue uniforms have to be the most hideous in school history...what in the world were they thinking in the athletic department?

    McCarney to North Texas?

    Yeah, it is a big school in terms of enrollment but not in terms of athletic or football relevance. Modest success would be generous...especially in terms of what conference they play in. The head coach they just canned became their head coach directly from a high school head coaching gig...

    Iowa State vs North Carolina next year?

    Come on man...you're being a little rough on Norman...he also looked great in warm-ups!! I totally agree...we need to judge guys when they get on the court against Big 12 caliber talent...not based upon practice or how many uncontested jumpers a guy can make in some practice drill (can you say...

    Iowa State vs North Carolina next year?

    Actually, Roy has always had a policy of playing a game in the geographic area of each of his players at least once during their career at the school he is coaching at (KU or UNC). But this begs the question...is not HB a "one and done" guy?

    I would play for him anytime..........

    This is a candidate for understatement of the year! Ha ha!
